Why on earth would you create a whitelist that will be used for only one week? Regardless of how good or bad it is, it's just a bizarre and needless complication. Seems like a harebrained b4n man scheme to me... free Slin.

Also why would you have a meeting of this import with only three days notice - on a Saturday evening for Europeans - and then proceed as if there was proportional representation after like one European of note showed up?

Just keep everyone in the loop, due to a generous private donation we won't be pushing a stretch goal. Also there was no way to make a show match with froyo work due to schedule conflicts, but Se7en will play a show match against Jasmine Tea from Boot Camp on Thursday 19th January. Feel free to pick up any of the leftover perks - any proceeds will go toward the future of the brand and not just in people's pockets. Thanks again to everyone who contributed, especially the mysterious anonymous benefactor...

Valve added the white list functionality at a time when they had no interest in competitive play, but wanted us to shut up and stop bothering them with complaints about how new weapons affected 6v6.

Cogent points, eloquently made. Keep it up...

Pretty sure it's no longer valid, but if it is you have to book it on the phone for the discount.

You can still buy perks after we reach $4000, and $4000 doesn't even nearly cover our total costs so you can still be sure it's going to the cause if you choose to do so. I will give more details on this soon since we are now approaching our goal.

Available quantities are listed under each perk. I think you can only buy one per contribution though (ie. do multiple smaller contributions to stack perks)

We've also now added Hafficool's jersey to the perks. It's the last one we will be offering up, and all the rest are gone so get in fast!

Also regarding the raffle, anyone who bought a perk with a ticket is automatically entered. Will all be done after the event itself, but once you've purchased the perk you don't have to do anything else. But if for any reason you need to contact us, you can message via indiegogo or check the contact information on our Twitter.

Hey gang, time for another update. We are just about at 80% of our total goal, really can't express what this level of support means but we are doing our best to see that it's worth every penny for the community. We are going to put together a community frag movie, edited by AMS, featuring clips from top players, contributors, and the best clips from the community at large. You can now claim a $30 perk that guarantees your clip makes it to the final movie, and there is also a separate perk where AMS will produce a custom frag movie for one lucky contributor. Also, I found my backup hat so there is now a new kaido hat perk available! For all of the details check the update video:

It's absolutely ridiculous that to this day people still assert definitive conclusions about which rule set is more enjoyable/not enjoyable. It's pretty obvious at this point that both rule sets are very enjoyable; the fact that an integrally flawed competitive game like TF2 with no proper support still has casted and spectated matches in both continents is a testament to that. The only thing people don't actually like is unfamiliarity, exhibited by both Europeans and Americans whenever they discuss the other continent's rule set. At least this way everyone can be slightly unhappy together...

After one week we're already at 50% of our goal, completely surpassing all of our expectations. A massive thank you to everyone who has donated. As a lot of the perks have now been claimed, we've decided to add some additional ones. You can now claim:

- A video shout-out from Midnight Mick (Drackk's dad)

- A selection of the Crowns jerseys worn by the team at i58

For more information, please see the perk list and our campaign update video.

Ever since rewind at Esports Arena was announced, it seemed like an event that a European team should attend. For a long time, not enough details were finalised to make this a reality but in light of the recent announcements I've been doing everything I can to arrange for a lineup to go. With that in mind, I present to you the next chapter in the legacy of the team formerly known as Crowns, and a new TF2 organisation: Se7en.

Click here for the full story and fundraiser.

For me, this is one of the most exciting LANs in TF2 history. Please help Se7en become the first European team to travel across continents to compete at the highest level, and in doing so ensure that Europe's top team never has to ask for funding again.

There's a lot to look forward to, so follow us on Twitter and YouTube to show support and keep up with all our upcoming content and giveaways.

Classic ETF2L. Don't publicise any prizepool apart from threatening to dock it..

Disputing posts in a thread intended for venting irrationality......

Come on man. There's no way you can cling to the notion that you've taken this seriously or are at all personally invested. You've long since moved on from TF2 as a serious endeavour and as such these sorts of lingering responsibilities are of no importance to you - you dealt with them lightheartedly at the best of times. That's completely fine but you've been caught out now so just deal with the problem and that can be that.
